I can understand their annoyance when a CEO makes millions, runs a company into the ground with bad decisions, then gets a huge severance package, while normal workers are being laid off.

When I was a painter I worked with a guy that was always bitching about "CEO's and their fucking mansions."
Then he would try to talk shit to me because I would spend my whole lunch breaks studying, not to mention he would always bitch about being broke despite being a heavy smoker, and bragging about how he didn't give a fuck about high school, always cut classes etc. So I guess, from my experience, they see what other people have and want it without having to make the necessary sacrifices to achieve it. On a side note, the guy in question loved rap, and from what I heard of the type of rap he listened to, it was nothing but people bragging about their cars, money and weed.

Money is one of th few things in life that you can measure and compare to others. You can't compare love or happiness or satisfaction. You don't hear "He gets more pussy than me! I demand equal pussy!" or "His children are more loving that mine! I want his kids?".
Libs own all the art and music and hairy legged chicks. But no one is complaining about that. |

Yeah, I was going to say, if worker compensation has stagnated, that might have something to do with all the commie-lib socialism, red tape, taxes, regulations, and environmentalist whackmobilism that the government has levied on companies, many of which are struggling to survive under it all. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: CEOs are more valuable than ever, while unskilled labor is actually less valuable. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Mainly because CEO compensation has grown exponentially while normal worker compensation has stagnated. Exactly Ironically, because the commies are allowing unskilled labor from the third world to "migrate" here on an industrial scale. Glut of unskilled labor = buyer's (i.e., employer's) market, resulting in depressed wages. Funny how that never gets mentioned as part of the discussion. |

Quoted:
It's no different than bitching about someone feeding their dog a steak. It's not your home, dog, or steak. Shut the fuck up about it. For starters, we have the zero sum fallacy. They fervently believe that in this case, feeding your dog steak steals food off of someone else's plate. Given all the various ways to create wealth, that is of course rather retarded. Next we have the left's gift that keeps on giving - the labor theory of value, which is the downright idiotic concept that the value of work is determined by duration and effort. When you're a mush-brained lefty who doesn't understand the relationship between price, cost, and value, it's hard to grasp the notion that value is in the eye of the beholder and that anyone working for someone else is selling their labor to someone who has to make a judgement comparing price vs. value. Moving on, let's throw in your usual cynical politicians - they'll piss and moan about anything if it stirs up class resentment, especially if the proposed "fix" crushes social mobility and keeps the peasants that vote for you in their place. They're aided by a bunch of CEO's that are rich enough that they can play along without giving a shit anymore. Lastly, we have simple greed and envy. This comes from two main sources: - the chronically unemployed, illiterate, and innumerate who are pretty much a bunch of barbarians - the academic left, who - despite paychecks that put them in the global one percent - see CEO pay and flip their shit because some mere "business people" make more than their "enlightened" selves. There are more, but those are the main ones.... One of the real problems we're starting to face is that every year we have more and more people that aren't as useful as an equally expensive robot. The vast majority of those people have nobody to blame but themselves. |

I follow it, too, and it bothers me. At some point, boards are going to have to figure out that they're overcompensating CEOs and deal with it or die. Most of them aren't worth the money and it amazes me that the shareholders haven't lynched the board members.

I worked my way high enough up a fairly tall ladder that the C-Suite knew about me. I learned about what they were doing too. I realized I wasn't willing to put in the work to get their compensation and stepped aside for the next guy/gal to make the assent. They earned what they make, they sacrificed a ton to get it too. It's not commiserate to an hourly wage because they work/sacrifices aren't either. It's not just working hard or a lot, it's usually a personal sacrifice on the rest of one's life/health/family. I am thankful what they do, and I have no plans on doing it myself.

The last one that bitched about CEO pay I told this:
"First grow a pencil-thin moustache, then buy yourself a bow and arrow and a pair of green tights...Oh, yeah. Don't forget the pointy hat with a pheasant feather like the guy on the flour bag wears." He was not amused.

So instead of paying one guy $40 million to work himself to death, pay two people $20 million each and maybe they'll enjoy life a little? |
